Brandon Brooks was the key that helped Philadelphia Eagles win their one and only Super Bowl in 2018. The Eagles defeated The Patriots with a score of 41–33 to win the big one. The Milwaukee native had been suffering from injuries for the last three years. In 2018, Brooks tore his right Achilles tendon. He recovered quickly and played all the games in 2019. After another injury in 2020, Brooks missed the entire season.
